Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 1159 - 479: Biyao Chunshen’s New Mission! (Part 2)

Just as Su Ping was perplexed and bewildered, the leaf in his palm turned into a cluster of emerald green flame right before his eyes and disappeared without a trace.

"This..."

Su Ping was momentarily dumbfounded, but soon recovered.

He sensed the presence of the Biyao Chunshen departing from Xiao Qing.

Was this a counterfeit leaf it had conjured?

The purpose was likely to conceal its true form.

The Poison Saint would surely not, it should be the existence of the Legend of the Holy Dragon, possibly having noticed its traces.

Therefore, is a leaf like this needed to divert the Legend of the Holy Dragon’s attention?

Su Ping thought his guess was likely right.

Yet, he didn’t mind much.

Knowing is knowing,

He was indeed somewhat on edge now.

Facing this mysterious ’Biyao Chunshen’, if the Legend of the Holy Dragon could uncover it through observation, then so be it.

This time entering the so-called Spring Realm, confronting the World Tree that exists only in legends, its actions shattered Su Ping’s narrow self-deceptive understanding of ’Biyao Chunshen’.

Although he gained some benefit, given the current situation, it was clear that its progress with the World Tree was not optimal.

What if it becomes displeased and vents its anger on him?

However...

It must be said, the benefits of trailing behind this one’s footsteps were indeed plenty.

Su Ping looked at the palm of his hand, where traces of the leaf remained.

And within his soul, besides the Celestial Tomb Mark of grey-white flame, besides the Dragon Gate Mark of the flickering dragon, there was yet another leaf added.

Of course, there’s also the paperman mark which appeared when the Catalog Level reached Level 5, but these first three were gained externally, whereas the paperman was acquired from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, not comparable.

Similarly, the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas provided this leaf with a response:

[Advanced Origin Power (Incorporating)]

[Containing a powerful trace of origin mark power, being of the Wood Element, Life Series, Poison Type origin power.

Though extremely weak, it still held an indelible influence over lesser living beings. Can be actively absorbed or released!

Upon active use, an entity from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas whose Catalog Level is no higher than Level 4 of plant type, wood element, life series, poison type pet beast can be actively promoted, or a Catalog Level exceeding Level 5 can again be enhanced!]

Indeed, identical to the previous Celestial Tomb Mark.

However, even if this leaf-shaped mark is not accommodated, it currently doesn’t affect Su Ping much.

In fact, Su Ping could feel that this mark in his palm was continually absorbing faint life breath, restoring his body weakened by the potent poison from the Five Poisons Cauldron before.

Among these three marks, the World Tree Leaf mark is the largest, larger than the Celestial Tomb Mark and the Dragon Gate Mark, but extremely thin and transparent.

While the other two appear relatively more substantial.

Su Ping didn’t quite understand its significance but thought he might vaguely comprehend something.

Speaking of which, upon inspecting the deepest part of his soul this time, Su Ping discovered some peculiar areas.

The paperman’s originally most ethereal mark, given by the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas when the paperman catalog reached Level 5, seemed perhaps slightly more tangible?

Though hardly perceptible, Su Ping felt confident in his senses.

However, considering his rapid realm ascension recently, perhaps this was the cause? Or due to more engagement with breeding paperman pet beasts?

He decided not to dwell on it, gradually withdrawing his consciousness from within his soul and Beast Taming Space, returning to the reality, once again gazing at the tangible, jade-like leaf in his hand.

Then, holding the leaf, he re-entered the Beast Taming Space, appearing before the surrounding Biyao Chunshen, cautiously saying:

"Thank you, elder, for saving my life! This thing I absolutely dare not accept!"

The flame-turned figure spun around, transforming into human shape, then gesturing with the palm, clearly rejecting Su Ping’s return of the item to its rightful owner.

The World Tree Leaf that was offered returned once more to Su Ping’s palm.

Holding this thing, Su Ping only felt it scorching hot!

Praised as the closest resource to Mythical Level, or perhaps it’s already a Mythical Level resource.

And reaching Mythical Level, can it even be considered a resource?

A leaf of this item.

Previously, this thing could easily accommodate all his pet beasts and him, and had surplus space.

One could gauge its value without guesswork.

Now, it’s uncertain whether this one has handled the World Tree, but based on feedback from soul contracts shown by Xiao Qing and other pet beasts moments ago, it seemed unresolved.

In this case, holding onto it was evidently inappropriate.

The Biyao Chunshen before him seemed to have discerned Su Ping’s thoughts, its dark green figure swiveling slightly, its half-physical, half-ethereal flame root tendrils tangibly touching Su Ping’s palm.

Following that, Su Ping’s vision was filled once again with scenes.

The World Tree before was nowhere to be found.

However, the Elixir of Immortality still prominently existed.

Yet, apart from the Elixir of Immortality, he saw numerous other resources.

This time, the quantity was significantly increased.

Though that wasn’t a matter of contention,

Several others, Su Ping indeed recognized.

Though they were of high grade, reaching Spirit Saint Level, Emperor Level.

For this one, wasn’t the grade of these resources somewhat lacking?

Su Ping’s eyebrows twitched, but he quickly reacted, promptly saying:

"Rest assured, I will collect them as soon as possible!"

The figure before him ’nodded’, then the selected images shown to Su Ping were separately extracted, each displayed with special red glows.

"Are you implying these are urgent?"

The figure nodded again in assent, then continued morphing into shapeless emerald flame, evidently uninterested in continuing discussions with Su Ping.

From receiving the usage consent of the World Tree Leaf in this one’s hand, Su Ping wasn’t particularly thrilled, exiting the Beast Taming Space, idly holding the leaf, somewhat at a loss.

Examining externally, apart from its aesthetic, this thing seemed to reveal nothing else.

So, what’s the utility of this thing?

Needless to say, Su Ping didn’t even need to consult references, knowing clearly that there was absolutely no precedent for its usage.

Otherwise, Lady Liu would’ve mentioned it before their entrance.

So, what’s the purpose of this item after all?

Perhaps a taste test?

Evidently, such reckless thoughts were mere ponderings for Su Ping.

Moreover, given its tactile hardness, it didn’t resemble a leaf, and possibly his teeth wouldn’t be adequate to bite into it.

"Su Ping, how did you come upon this thing?"

A voice emerged, indeed the man’s figure appeared.

Su Ping hesitated briefly but didn’t conceal anything:

"Well... Consider it something passed down by Situ Feng!"

"Consider it?"

The man pondered these two words briefly, exhibiting rare surprise, then looked at Su Ping peculiarly:

"Interesting, boy... Well, just remember, if there’s any potential danger, come to me whenever!"

Su Ping scratched his head, nodding eagerly, he in truth didn’t wish to deceive the man but if the Biyao Chunshen were merely that, he’d speak openly without issue, yet under current circumstances, apprehension lingered.

If he sold it, would the entity react adversely?

Both parties being insightful, evidently, the man before understood something.

Both switched topics unspokenly, Su Ping quickly said:

"Holy Dragon, do you know the utility of this thing?"

The man chuckled, shaking his head, teasingly saying:

"I truly don’t know, but you could place it as an ornament! Hmm, a guaranteed Legendary Level ornament..."

"An ornament..."

Su Ping’s face darkened; he realized the figure before him seemed not only affected by the meditation method’s influence on words but also held grudges.
